94-year-old newspaper stops publishing in Odesa region

On November 30, 2024, the NovynaR newspaper, which was published in the Rozdilnyansky district of Odesa region, sent its subscribers the latest issue.

This was announced on Facebook by the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Victoria Maynych.

"Our newspaper, which turned 94 years old in the fall, has gone through many metamorphoses and cataclysms during its existence. Circumstances, political trends, owners, geography of its distribution, name changed... There have never been easy times for the printed word. And the worst thing is wartime, which is the second time in its long life that the newspaper has experienced. "Unfortunately, on November 30, 2024, subscribers received the last issue of Novynar," the editor noted.

The newspaper used to be a district publication of Frunzenskyi district, and after it was renamed Zakharivskyi district. According to Viktoriia Maynych, it first stopped publishing during World War II because of the occupation and resumed publication in June 1944.

According to the journalist, the Novynar.City website will continue to operate.

In September, the Grad TV channel, founded by Anatoliy Balinov , a former deputy of the Odesa City Council of two convocations, stopped broadcasting news. In 2019, Odesa-based TV companies Grad and Art (Channel 7), which were broadcasting on analog air in Odesa at the time but did not have digital licenses, won the National Council of Television and Radio Broadcasting's tender for two free places in RRT Concern's digital multiplex in Odesa at 27 TVCs.

At the end of August, the Odesa-based online media outlet Ukrainian Information Service (USI), which was part of the same media holding as Channel7 and had ceased operations on September 1, reopened. But it has not resumed broadcasting. "Channel 7 is a digital, terrestrial and cable TV channel. The channel has been broadcasting since 2014 under the ownership of ART TV and Radio Company LLC and RIAC-Inform LLC.
